'Taking a first look at the new THEM Skates 80mm Ready-to-Roll soul plate kit. THEM Goods - https://www.themgoods.com/products/them-80-replacement-soul-plates-black-1 Footage Used- Brian Aragon - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxpdgcQtWjs The Stuttering Skater - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABKLqjm07us Follow Jeremy - @fruitsoftheboots FROM LOCOSKATES.COM -- The THEM 80mm Skates are a transformation of the highly popular 909 aggressive skates, designed for cruising and suitable for aggressive skaters looking to transition to bigger wheels, or big wheel skaters looking for the aggressive aesthetic! The story of THEM is special. When Valo cut its ties with Roces we all thought rollerblading would descend into a sizeable pit of gloom. Little did we know founder Jon Julio, with little assets to his name, would shock us all by launching THEM soon after. Since that day in 2018, the brand deserves nothing but praise for its remarkable contribution to the community. The 908. THEM Intuition liners. The first fully independent skate. Blade Cup. Clarks. CommunitE. Braindead. 909 tours. Videos. Content. Wizard Skating. THEM is a brand you can really get your teeth into. The THEM 80mm is no different. Being a skate many of us already know and love it makes a lot of sense for THEM to transpose the 909 to a bigger wheel version. Technical Details The boot mould was created from scratch: the lace holes are formatted with a traditional shape but with two extra cut-outs, carefully engineered to provide the ideal \'flex points\'. The boot construction has been carefully considered with thicker plastic in the most relevant places, for better wear and performance. The cuff is adjustable (vertically) to allow you to use it in a high or ride position, depending on your preference for flex and support and allowing you to ease pressure points so commonly experienced when flexing at the ankle. The boot uses a slightly raised heel which provides good shock absorption and energy transfer and places your foot in the best position for skating. The one-piece plate and frame offer great stability and power transfer and the bolts and hardware are a breath of fresh air. The \'bridge-style\' plate bolts stop the receivers from spinning on the inside of the boot when you unscrew the plate. This makes switching the pate out for your aggressive soulplate super super super easy. The 80mm wheels have perfectly balanced rebound for grip, speed and control. The bearings are smooth and fast-rolling. Why should I buy the THEM 80mm Skates? You should buy these skates because you know and love them already, and now you get the bonus of big wheel blazing without the fuss of figuring out what freestyle skates fit you properly. Not to mention THEM’s progressive attitude, collaborative nature and community focus. You won\'t just be buying a pair of skates you’ll be becoming part of a family. Can I grind on the 80mm plates? No. The 80mm plates are raised heel and we do not recommend these for grinding. Do the pates fit on my aggressive 909 boots? Yes. If you have a pair of 909 aggressive skates and purchase these as well. You’ll be able to put the 80mm plates on your 909 boot. Do my 909 aggressive soul plates fit on the Them 80 boot? Yes. If you have a pair of 909 aggressive skates and purchase these as well you’ll be able to put the aggressive soulplate on the 80mm boot.
